Reaching Beyond

At great grandma Jane’s house, Sophia took to reading in bed. She would stand up and pull that book off the table right behind her pack and play bed. She did it every time. She would wake up and start reading (albeit upside down) with Dinah’s ear in her mouth. We would walk in to check on her and catch her at it. The first time we caught her, she’d pulled off the basket of potpourri, mom’s camera and a number of other items not baby-approved into her bed, but after that her parents made sure the book and a few choice toys were the only things within her ever growing reach.

New CD and Wardrobe – Black Ice

Sophia and Dad were both equally excited when they discovered one of Uncle Mark’s gifts from England. The music in the background should have been from the new CD – Black Ice – that Joe got, but they settled for just matching tops. Joe wore his black AC DC shirt all day too.

Merry Christmas from the Wi Refermats!

And a Happy New Year!

Hamper Hat

Okay, this one needs a little explanation. Sophia found her hamper and all on her own started lifting it up. It’s very light. Then the game turned into putting it on her head. I caught it on camera. I swear we aren’t torturing her.

Just Cute

That face is going to break boys' hearts someday. Right now she's got a hat that she keeps taking on and off. It's a hat like Indiana Jones wears (it was once part of such a costume), and she is just having a ball making her parents laugh as she puts it on and rips it again...asthough that was the best game in the world.

Toddler Trouble

Sophia seems to have entered toddlerhood. I found her decimating a napkin on the floor of the living room. And it had only been a minute, maybe two at most. I knew it was too quiet. The soft rustling of paper tearing tipped me off. What could I do but take a picture? :)
